Shaaray Circles

Shaaray Circles: Connect, Laugh, Explore

Shaaray Circles is our small groups initiative. Consisting of lay-led groups of about eight to ten Shaaray Tefila members who will meet once a month, Shaaray Circles members come together and create space for conversation and community on a variety of topics and areas of interest.

We hope that you will join us as we connect with one another, spread joy, and deepen our relationships across the congregation. Groups meet once a month, either in person or online.

You must be a member of Temple Shaaray Tefila in order to participate in Shaaray Circles.

Our Circles

Our Circles are based on specific interests and are created and organized by our member facilitators.

Once a Circle is full, we will add your name to our waitlist. If there is a topic that interests you, please consider forming and facilitating your own Circle on that topic or area of interest.

Some current Circles:

• Exploring Israeli Restaurants

• Nosh and Drosh

• Shaaray Film Club

• Texts on Israel

Why Join a Shaaray Circle?

Real connection happens when we show up, share stories, and spend time together. Whether you're diving into thoughtful conversation, exploring the city, or just enjoying good company, Circles make our large community feel a little smaller and a lot more meaningful.
